I just wanted to take a moment to enjoy how clean the web can be (lemmy.world)

I happened to click a link that took me to the associated ~~twitter~~ X account for something I was interested in and was greeted by not one, not two, but four modern day web popups.

I know it's nothing new. I've got a couple of firefox plugins that are usually quite good at hiding this sort of nonsense, but I guess they failed me today (or, I shudder to think, there were even more that were blocked, and this is what got through)

What's the worst new/not-signed-in user experience you've encountered recently?

This is something I like to use ublock origin for. Like, blocking ads is nice, but I also love just clearing out clutter from websites.

instagram's login pop-ups will appear if you have seen like 12 posts of a user. that's really annoying. if you are on mobile and open instagram on the browser and then log in, instagram still asks you to log in. how weird!

I don't have Instagram and when friends send links from it I don't even try anymore.

Pro tip: you can turn the link into ddinstagram to embed on services like Discord and other ones with embeds. This way you don't have to visit the site

Reminds me of screenshots of internet explorer with 20 search bar addons from the 2000s 🤣

uBlock with "Cookie Notices" and "Annoyances" ticked on. Filter lists tab.
